Tina Drossos, PhD, specializes in pediatric psychology, providing support and guidance for children and their families facing long-term health challenges. Dr. Drossos works to address the emotional and psychological impact of chronic illnesses on young patients, helping them cope with stress, anxiety and depression, as well as improve adherence to a medical regimen.
Through a variety of therapeutic techniques, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, Dr. Drossos empowers children to better manage their health and live fulfilling lives, while also providing families with the tools and resources they need to support their children's ongoing care. Along with an established interdisciplinary team, we develop tailored treatment plans that include each element of care from mental health to clinical programs designed to support and treat children/adolescents and families with chronic illnesses.
Dr. Drossos also uses research to further improve care for pediatric patients needing chronic care, such as diabetes, cancer and median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS). She is evaluating methods to enhance the quality of life for children and adolescence with chronic illnesses. Her research has been published in several peer-reviewed journals, including, Pediatrics, Primary Care Diabetes, Frontiers in Psychology, Journal of Pediatric Psychology and more.

Some of our physicians and health professionals collaborate with external pharmaceutical, medical device, or other medical related entities to develop new treatments and products to improve clinical outcomes for patients. In some instances, the physician has ownership interests in the external entity and/or is compensated for advising or speaking about the entity’s products or treatments. These payments may include compensation for consulting and speaking engagements, equity, and/or royalties for products invented by our physicians. To assure objectivity and integrity in patient care, UChicago Medicine requires all physicians and health professionals to report their relationships and financial interests with external entities on an annual basis. This information is used to review relationships and transactions that might give rise to potential financial conflicts of interest, and when considered to be significant a management plan to mitigate any biases is created.
